Death sentence.

 
All around me is a darkness
and up above was a fading light
Down below lives a churning vortex
I'm falling hard into it's pull
I succumb to its gravity whose force is left to see
I look up again and the light has burned away
 
Farther and farther i quickly drift away
until i'm completely engulfed in darkness
My eyes are open but i cannot see
then came a flash of light  
and the vacuum had no pull
No longer was i spinning in the vortex
 
Drawing together by the vortex
what used to be so far away
On my skin I feel a cold touch then a gentle pull
from icy fingers in the darkness
reaching from the light
With each blast of illumination a familiar face to see
 
The touches and grabs became malicious their anger i could see
broken syllables just releasing from the vortex
sounds finally reach my ears coming and going same as the light
Just before i hear the words they fade away
Into the darkness
Into the void's silent pull
 
Once again i feel the pull
and homogenized bodies i could see
A cavorting mass of limbs in the darkness
Their grabbing hands create a new vortex
from which i cannot tear away
and it increases in ferocity same as the glinting light  
 
I regain consciousness by a flickering florescent light
to hear the prison warden demanding another pull
Another round of electricity I begin to slip away
I hear voices the families of my victims my execution is what they see
and once again i'm in the vortex
facing my vindicators in the darkness
 
Is this Hell that's laid before me and judgment that i see
Is the devil somewhere in this vortex
No, the devil is the darkness
